Phishing

I first became aware of this scam when the fraud department at my bank contacted me via text notifying that they had blocked a transaction on my debit card tied to vgathletehabit. I had no knowledge of the organization and agreed that the charge was fraudulent. The bank then told me vgathletehabit had first attempted a $0 charge and then a $29.90 charge the following day, indicative of a subscription service. I have a vague recollection of clicking on a social media link the previous day looking for additional information when I was trying to watch a soccer game; an additional click on that brought me to a Apple Pay link that indicated there was $0 to sign up. Ultimately the link to watch the game did not work and I thought little about it. It was the following day that the bank contacted me. The bank had declined the charge. After verifying that I had not approved the charge, the bank provided me with a phone number for the merchant and suggested that I call to make sure any services were cancelled, I believe in an effort to stave off future attempts by the merchant to charge my card. I did so. Upon calling the number provided, the customer service agent could find no account attached to my email address; he then provided me an email address and told me to use it to request an account closure. I wrote to the email address and it immediately bounced back as " no such email address exists or this is an email address that cannot accept mail." I then looked up Athlete Habit online, found their website, and saw that that both the phone number the bank had provided and the email address the call center had provided were what were listed on their website, along with the street address I have provided on this form. I believe that this is a scam company. There certainly was no intention on my part to sign up for any services, nor was there any information about any services provided.

The event was canceled a week before and they offered a code for another event but the code was not functional so I asked for the refund I was offered. Then ensued almost 5 months of attempting contact, the company confirming a refund then going completely silent. I then went on Instagram and tiktok to see that they had turned their comments off because others had posted that they are experiencing the same scam of them canceling the event a week before multiple times after rescheduling and then keeping the funds. Others are also posting the potential scam because influencers with a following seem to be getting a better version of the event than anyone who’s event wasn’t canceled a week before

Counterfeit Product

I was shopping for Wagner Spray paint products. I was directed to a link through the Q/A section of homedepot.com, and it pointed me to wagner-show.com. Their images and product descriptions look legit and appear to be copied from home depot or amazon. I found that this site had a very low price for a product - $90usd vs $245msrp. The website claimed it is an "end of season clearance". I tried to verify the clearance price across other retailers and could not. I then called Wagner Group and asked the rep whether this site was legit. They informed me they had never heard of it. I then performed a WHOIS lookup on the domain registrant of "wagner-show.com" and it came up as "Bangning Digital Technology Co.,Ltd" which is how I found the scam alert I am now replying to. The website, wagner-show, is listing Wagner spray products at 50-70% markdown from retail. When a user goes to "check out", the experience appears legitimate. However, there is a compulsory checkbox to confirm their sales agreement. There is no sales agreement linked to this and one cannot find it on the website. I did not end up ordering from this site When I called Wagner Group customer service

I was harassed via AI emails trying to offer 40% refund if i cancel my complaint claim with the bank. This company scam is already red flagged with my banking institution. The claims office confirmed they are getting many complaints on this joke of a muahroom coffee company. I want to make sure other people sont have to spend countless hours and money on this scam.

On Friday, October 23, 2026, I received an unsolicited prerecorded voicemail on my cell phone from +1 (514) 456-1550. The recorded voice called herself "Samantha Wilson" but named no company or organization. The message was a pitch for personal loans: it claimed I could receive up to $48,000 at rates "starting around 5.7%" and told me to press 2 or call 844-515-1726 to proceed. I never applied for a loan, do not know this caller, and the caller's identity is unverified. No money was requested from me and I lost nothing. I did not call back. This appears to be an unsolicited robocall loan-scam pitch from an unidentified caller.

Retail Business

I was contacted by Prime Publishing in May of 2026 and contracted with them to promote my book The Death of Carthage. I paid them $2200 for their services which proved to be totally useless. They kept trying to sell me other services such as creating an audiobook and entering book fairs which I declined. Then they told me that a company called Recycle Books wanted to buy 300 of my books and sell them. Their agent, Max called me and I authorized Prime Publishing to print 300 books and to deliver them to Recycle Books in San Jose. Max told me that they would reimburse me for the cost when they got the books, and also pay me a royalty when they sold. I authorized Prime Publishing to print 300 books at a cost of $2700. I tried to cancel the sale but a Mr. Wilson from Prime Publishing threatened to sue me if I did. Both Prime Publishing and Max from Recycled Books sent me PDF showing boxes of the printed books so I decided to pay for the books. Recycled books never made any attempt to reimburse me for the books or even get my bank information to pay royalties. On September 22 I contacted Max by e-mail and said that I wanted to take possession of the books. He said that he would send them to me if I gave him my address. I did. Thus far I have received nothing. Today I tried to send a message to the Recycle Book email address and got a message that it was no longer in service. I went to the Recycled Book website and saw the following notice: The website pretending to be us has been taken down by its host. If you are unexpectedly contacted for a large purchase of new books- this is not us, and not how we operate. It is clear that both Prime Publishing and the faux Recycled Book company are scam operations. I hope you will investigate them, and at least warn future victims that Prime Publishing is a scam.

I ordered a Kanye West Graduation Bear figurine with the understanding that it would arrive within approximately eight weeks. When that time passed without delivery, I contacted the merchant for an update and received no response. I followed up again and was met with continued silence. After approximately another month of waiting, I warned that I would take further action if the issue was not resolved. Shortly afterward, the merchant uploaded a UPS tracking label, making it appear that my order was on its way. However, the item never arrived. By the time I pursued a dispute with my bank, I was told that the deadline to dispute the charge had passed. Throughout this entire experience, I never received a direct response from anyone at the business, despite multiple attempts to contact them. I have since found reports from other customers describing similar experiences: lengthy delays, unanswered messages, and tracking labels followed by no delivery. These accounts raise serious concerns that my experience reflects a repeated pattern. I believed I was supporting an independent artist. Instead, I paid for an item I never received and was left without meaningful communication or a resolution. I am reporting this experience to help others recognize the warning signs and avoid a similar situation.

This is the second notice that I have gotten the first notice is when I realized this must be a scam and when I called the dealership they said it was. The first time I called them they were very pushy and trying to get me to give them my information on my VIN credit card etc. when I told them my vehicle should still be under warranty and they said it was not going to be under warranty for very long that I needed to purchase this insurance immediately I did not get a name but I have given you the phone number that they're using and ask my name if I'm the one that owns the vehicle instead of telling me my name and which vehicle that I own fortunately I had purchased another vehicle and they were trying to get me on the old vehicle that's when I knew something wasn't right they ask you questions and then basically repeat your answers back to you as if they had you in their database.

Only had Apple Pay/Cashapp available, which set off some alarm bells. Paid via Venmo since I had buyer protection available on it. Paid $200 for 3 sets of take off/used motorcycles tires plus shipping. Paid Oct. 1. Didn't hear anything about tracking/shipping, so contacted him on Oct. 5, where he replied Oct. 6 that the tires had been shipped. I responded right away asking for the tracking info, message was read but not replied to. The last message he sent me was that they were shipped. Messaged again on Oct 11, 12, and 21st, when I filed a claim with Venmo on the 21st. Still no responses, but messages being read. James' Fiance is the owner of the Venmo account, Kelly Teuscher. When I filed the claim, his Fiance requested $200 from me with the note "refund", I believe in an attempt to scam me out of another $200.

The caller never gave a full company name, an address, or any details about a debt, and I have no account with NCRI and never authorized any payment to them. I did not call either number back, share any information, or lose any money. This appears to be a fake debt collection scare and repeated robocall harassment, and I am reporting it so these numbers can be investigated and blocked.
